Mechanism of Action
Bacteriostatic Water 30ml is a sterile, non-pyrogenic diluent composed of purified water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol acts as a preservative that inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the solution to remain stable after multiple withdrawals. This supports repeated vial access while maintaining solution integrity in controlled research environments.
Potential Research Applications
- Reconstitution of lyophilized peptides
- Preparation of peptide solutions for research studies
- Multi-dose laboratory protocols
- Controlled dilution of compounds
- General sterile solvent applications
Typical Research Use
The 30ml format is commonly used in research settings requiring multiple reconstitutions or repeated dosing preparations. Its volume capacity supports extended use across multiple experiments or sample preparations.
Usage Guidelines
The volume required depends on the compound being reconstituted and the desired concentration. Researchers typically introduce bacteriostatic water into lyophilized vials using sterile technique, allowing the powder to dissolve gradually without agitation.
Handling Guide
Introduce the solution slowly along the vial wall to avoid peptide disruption. Do not shake; gently swirl if needed. Always use sterile syringes and maintain proper laboratory conditions to preserve sterility during use.
Storage Information
- Store at controlled room temperature before opening
- After opening, refrigerate at 2–8°C
- Keep away from direct light exposure
- Maintain sterile handling conditions after puncture
Stability & Shelf Life
When unopened, the product remains stable until its labeled expiration date. Once opened, the bacteriostatic properties provided by benzyl alcohol allow for multiple uses over a limited timeframe when stored properly under refrigeration.
